Overview

"SOUTH OF ICELAND FULL-DAY TOUR + ATV BLACK BEACH SAFARI" Private Tour

Highlights: - Seljalandsfoss waterfall: a stunning cascade that drops 60 meters into a pool below. You can walk behind the waterfall and enjoy the view from a different perspective.

  • Eyjafjallajokull volcano and glacier: a famous site of the 2010 eruption that disrupted air travel across Europe. You can see the ash-covered ice cap and the lava fields from a distance or take a helicopter tour for a closer look.
  • Skogafoss waterfall: one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland, with a width of 25 meters and a height of 60 meters. You can climb up to the top of the waterfall or hike along the river to see more cascades.
  • Dyrholaey sea cliff: a dramatic rock formation that juts out into the Atlantic Ocean. You can see the natural arch, the lighthouse, and the puffins that nest on the cliff. You can also enjoy the views of the black sand beaches and the glaciers in the background.
  • Reynisfjara Black Beach: a striking beach with black volcanic sand, basalt columns, and sea stacks. You can admire the contrast between the dark sand and the white waves, but be careful of the strong currents and sneaker waves that can be dangerous.
  • Vik village: a charming town that is the southernmost settlement in Iceland. You can visit the church, the museum, and the local shops, or explore the nearby attractions such as Reynisfjara Black Beach and Dyrholaey sea cliff.
  • Solheimajokull glacier: a part of the larger Myrdalsjokull glacier that covers the Katla volcano. You can join a guided glacier walk or ice climbing tour and experience the beauty and power of the ice.
  • The plane wreck at Solheimasandur: a haunting sight of an abandoned US Navy plane that crashed on the black sand beach in 1973. You can walk or take a shuttle bus to the plane wreck and take photos of the surreal scene.
  • Myrdalsjokull snowmobile tour: an exhilarating adventure that lets you ride a snowmobile on top of the Myrdalsjokull glacier. You can enjoy the thrill of speed and the stunning views of the ice cap and the surrounding mountains.
  • Glacier Walk: an activity that allows you to walk on a glacier with crampons and an ice axe. You can learn about the formation and features of the glacier, such as crevasses, moulins, and ice caves.
